near here. Thursday. was hanged, last night, by
q band of vieiantes, who have been on his trail

he was asleep under large tree. He was in
formed that he must die, and made no protest
In fact he said he was willing and ready; he had
done nothing he had cause to regret. His wife
had been untrue to him, and he had killed her
lover and this he regarded as justice. Regarding
the shooting of his wife. he said he could offer
nothing in the way of defense. He was then
hanged on the very tree under which he was
found sleeping His wife's stage name was Julia

laid with light rails. and trouble is experienced
almost daily by trains jumping the track. The

to stand on the side-track day and night if not

not pleased with the manner things are done.

The rhonsand-nIiie Tickets.

CHICAGO. Dec. 30-The Central Traffic As
ISOLATION roads having failed 10 adopt the propo-
si.ion to sell 1,000-mile tickets at p cents the
mile Commissioner Blanchard submitted TO
vote modification of the plan, with the hope
that the few roads objecting to the original
scheme would approve. The proposal is TO sell
900 mile tickets at $50, rebate of SO to be
paid to the purchaser when the coupons have all
been used. The tickets are TO be made nom
transferable, and the SO is to be forfeited If
they have changed hands. In this way il is
thought the tickets can be kept out OF the hands
of the scalners.

Vienna to constantInopIe.

Brilliant architectural, Christian Austria
united with grotesque and pagan Constanti-
nople gave Mr.. G. K. Bolton an unequalled
opportunity of catering to the religious and
artistic sentiments of his large audience in
City Hall last evening.
The lecture was made lucid and interest
ing by its series of well selected, dissolving
views and these helped to detract the atten-
tion from the hating delivery of the speaker;
though his hacking cough largely excused
this.
Prague. the capital of Bohemia, was the
initial point, city. which governs, 100000
people. Prague renowned for its medieval
architecture, with its famous cathedral from
whose turret were hurled the members Of
royal family, the cause of the 80 years war, is
full of historic "reminiscences. ST. Nicholas's
cathedral and its statue adorned bridge are
the interest centering points.
The lecturer then led his hearers to Vienna
at once picturesque and grand. Magnificent
buildings are on every hand and chief among
them the opera house, massive and beauti-
full structure. The Viennese are much like
Americans in appearance and progress, and
like them too in their passionate love of
music
The speaker then fastened on down the
''blue Danube" through the Bosphorus to
Constantinople. Mohammed and his religion,
the luxurious palaces of the Sultan, and the
characteristics of the Turks were treated at
length, and an evening of pleasure and pro-
fit had been spent.

William a. Beckett.

The PRESS, yesterday morning, announced
the death of Mr.. William II. Beckett, the
well-known singer, formerly Of Portland.
Mr.. Beckett had an attack of embolism of
the brain some weeks ago, but was improv-
Ing and his recovery was expected, when he
had a second attack and died Saturday after
noon.
Mr.. Beckett was one Of the best baritone
singers in the country. He studied with
Dell Side of Paris and Randegger of Lon
don. He was complimented by an invita-
ton to sing in the great Worcester (Eng.)
festival and made an excellent impression
there.
After his return TO this country Mr.. Beck
EFT became member of the famous Weber
Club Of New York, whose concert given in
the Mercantile Library Course at City Hall,
October 2S, 1870, will be remembered by all
who heard it. The members were Misses
Beebe and Bull, Messrs. Bush, Kendall
Beckett and Rowland. A little later in the
same ycar-Noyember 2Oth-Mr. Beckett
took part in a grand concert at which Miss
Julia Thursby, the great soprano, and
Nine Antoinette Sterling, now the famous
English contralto. appeared. Mr.. Beckett
electrified his audience by his rendering OF
my Queen"
Mr.. Beckett was sterling man. He had a
host Of friends. At the time of his death he
was secretary Of the Standard OIL Company,
and member of the choir of the Church of
the Incarnation, N. Y. He leaves two sis
tiers and brother, all residents in Port

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
HOW CEN. BUTLER CO htOHs
Young Men of To-day May do Like
wise If They Follow Advice Given.

General d. F. Butler being asked Tor some
suggestions on gaining success. stated that
when he was young lawyer, practiclhg IN
Lowell, Mass, bank president ADVISED
him to take his little deposit and buy real
estate, from which he could be deriving some
revenue. The general said that ne mad but
little money and was uncertain as TO MS fu-
ture.
"Never mind" said the bank president"
go to the next public auction OF real estate,
bid off lot with building OF some KIND on It,
pay down what money you nave ana give
your promlssory notes for the balance iou
will come out all right"
General Butler says this advice was good.
When man has obligated himself Dy ms
notes, to pay money at certain time' y IN
clines him to economy lie followed the
advice, and in time became the owner OF
several parcels of valuable real estate In
Lowell.
Two classes will not be likely to heed such
advice-the improvident and the over eau
tious. The latter will be apt to say: III
would be all right but for those dreadful
promissory notes. They are always running
on and if man falls sick they do not wait
for them to get WELL"
There is this danger, of course, but one
can make no business venture without some
risk, and with the knowledge acquired by
recent investigations Of the cause OF most or
binary ailments, and the means OF cure, one
runs little risk from that source. 1t is now
known that most of, the common ailments
have their origin in deranged kidneys. They
are the chief blood purifiers of the system
and when disordered, breaking down some
where is soon inevitable, because the poison
which in their healthy condition is elimin-
ated, is carried through the entire system.
